Resizing header graphic

[jalz]

Hi all,
I've created a header for my card by placing a blank button and filling it with the background of the image. Seems to work well, however I would like the header to stretch horizontally along if the user decides to stretch the window. Is there a way I can create a header graphic that stretches an shrinks horizonrally according to the size if the window?

Many thanks

Jalz

Try something like this in the script of the first card of the stack:

Code: Select all

on resizestack
    lock screen
    set the width of image 1 to the width of me
    set the top of image 1 to the top of me
    set the left of image 1 to the left of me
    unlock screen
end resizestack

But note that images don't scale very quickly, so this may appear a bit jerky.

Thanks mweider for starting me off.
After a little trial and error and looking at the dictionary to find out how things work - the following code seems to work quite nicely.

Code: Select all

on resizestack
   lock screen
   set the width of button "button 1" to the width of me
   set the top of button "button 1" to 0
   set the left of button "button 1" to 0
   unlock screen
end resizestack

The resizeStack message also includes two parameters which are the width and height of the stack. So an alternate way to do this would be:

on resizestack x,y -- these params are sent by the engine
lock screen
set the width of button "button 1" to x
set the topleft of button "button 1" to 0,0
unlock screen
end resizestack
